"Daisy Daily" for Week of June 19, 2017

Are you ready for:


?


Daisy Staff,

Thanks to all for your part in helping ensure a very successful 4th Grade Promotion on Friday.  We had great attendance from families who expressed that they enjoyed the ceremony and even the downpour didn’t dampen the spirits of our students at the celebration afterwards as most of the activities moved into the gym.

Thanks also for the great attendance and camaraderie at both the Staff Luncheon and Retirement Gathering at Rocky’s Aqua.  What a wonderful send-off for our valued retirees!

We’re in the final stretch and, as you know, tomorrow is the final day for students.

Here’s everything you need to know about the final days:

Monday, June 19---Students' Final Day; 1 pm Dismissal; No Lunches Served in Cafe.
  • 9 am--"Step Up" Visit for incoming K-3 graders during 4th grade specials.
    • Incoming 4th graders have already visited, so 4th grade teachers have offered to take current 3rd graders out to recess during this time.
    • I sent out the Class Lists in a Google doc to all.  It would be great if support staff/specialists could assist classroom teachers in helping students find next year’s classrooms, especially for the younger students.
    • Teri Paulsen will be coming in to greet students in first grade.
  • 10:15-10:45 am--LAST GOOD NEWS ASSEMBLY in Gym--To highlight the Governor's Summer Reading & Math Challenges for Grades K-4.  
    • This time has been adjusted so as not to interfere with specials.
    • Fourth-Grade will have yearbook signing/pizza party in cafĂ©.
    • Yearbooks will be handed out to students on Monday.  There are more available for purchase in the office for students and staff ($20 each).
  • There is milk available (white and chocolate), per Cindi Good (free) if this would help with your students’ lunch in the classroom.  Jan will be in the kitchen, so please let her know if you’d like some milk for your students.
  • 1 pm--Traditional "Good-bye" to Students at dismissal as buses loop a few times around the circle and we wave our good-byes.  It would be wonderful to have all staff members join in this tradition!
  • 5 pm--WHS Graduation.  (If you RSVP’d to walk in the procession, the line-up is at 4:15 pm)
Tuesday, June 20:  PD Day for Teachers

Here's the link to DAISY CALENDAR FOR STAFF:

Other “Housekeeping Items”---

·       Orders for Supplies (from certified staff) should be into the office by June 30 if you need these supplies to start off the new school year.  (Please see earlier e-mail re: this. Also, please remember that it is NOT necessary to spend all of that allotment ($275) before the school year as you may want to re-order as the year goes along.)
·       Laptops can be kept over the summer.  Ben will push out information re: an update, which you can accept on your computer and updates will be automatic. No collection of technology unless you won’t be returning in August.
·       Room keys should be turned into the office.  The office and school will be open during the summer from 7 am until 6 pm, and we ask that you buzz through the front door so that we can welcome you and know who is in the building.  We don’t have construction projects going on this summer, but if there is any reason why you can’t be in a certain area of the school, we will let you know.
·       There are only a few people who will be moving rooms.  If you are one of these people, we will make arrangements directly with you.  Otherwise, please make sure that table tops are emptied so that our custodians can clean all surfaces and move furniture to clean the room.

Please let me know anything that I might have missed : )
